As the center of Tianchengwei, Quang Binh City has a length of 8 li and a height of 3 feet and 6 feet. It was built with bricks during the Hongwu year and was rebuilt in Wanli year. It is regarded as a military powerhouse of Tianchengwei.
Only when he entered the city, Yang Shanlu found that the entire city's military equipment was very loose, and even the corner of the turret to defend against the enemy had collapsed, but no one had bothered about it.
After entering the city, it felt as if he had come to two different worlds, the dilapidated houses, the ragged pedestrians on the road, and even his face was numb and sluggish, and he couldn't see the hope of life.
Of course, in the original history, the end of Quang Binh City was also very tragic. In the following major disaster years, half of the people in the city died, and then after the Dazi entered the barrier, they were breached in one fell swoop, and the city’s men, women and children were killed and injured. Exhausted! But now...
And seeing Yang Shanlu looking carefully, Ding Guangzu and others were all anxious. They usually hide in their comfort nests, naturally no matter what they are outside, but now the General Lord saw it for the first time, for fear that he would be unhappy...
But what made them feel at ease was that although Yang Shanlu looked very carefully and his face was gloomy, he didn't say anything to embarrass them, which made them very relieved.
Then the group came to the guard commander in the center of the city, and found that this place had already been cleaned up, not to mention the cleanliness, and the lanterns and decorations were as grand as the New Year.
But at this moment Ding Guangzu already knew Yang Shanlu's temper, and quickly asked someone to take them all down... Master General doesn't like it.
The general layout of the Commander Guards is the front and back houses, with the gate, lobby, second hall, and third hall as the central axis, and other buildings are spread out in sequence.
When Yang Shanlu led Qi Zhenzong and others to the lobby, the Tianchengwei military officers of all levels and some civilian officials who were already waiting in the Xihua Hall by the side came forward to meet, and the number of these people was also abnormally large, which was still limited to a hundred households. The above officials, and senior officials.
Generally speaking, the maximum number of senior officials in a health station is 20 or 30, but now, there are as many as 50 or 60, which has doubled.
Now that these people have already arrived, it doesn't hurt to get to know them first. Yang Shanlu sat in the lobby and asked Hai Jilian to hold the roster, and these people reported in one by one.
In this one, Yang Shanlu found a lot of familiar faces. For example, in this one, Xiong Kaiyuan, the former Tiancheng Weiqinghebao management team officer, was a black man.
When Yang Shanlu was an officer of Xiaoqiangbao's management team, the two had conflicts because of the military households of Qinghebao who fled, but now, this person is also a good official and has been promoted to a defensive officer.
As for the reason, Yang Shanlu knew it with his toes. It was nothing but farming. There was a skill in shooting horses and an offensive of gold bullets and silver bullets. With the addition of Ding Guangzu as the commander, he would of course be promoted.
In addition, among these people, Yang Shanlu also found a lot of people he knew, and they were all officials from the former guards of the town, such as the commander of Wei Shi, some thousand households, deputy thousand households, and so on.
As for the reason why they came to Tianchengwei to serve, it is also well understood. When Yang Shanlu was gradually expanding the site, because the foundation was not stable, the redundant staff in the subordinate Baozhai, including corrupt officials, did not adopt He acted, but just sent them away, and now he controls the entire East Road, and he naturally met again.
And now I see these people, all of them are ruddy, and they are clearly living well. When thinking about the information that the Intelligence Department has already mastered, Yang Shanlu secretly said in his heart that he was incapable in the past, but now, it’s time to meet It's time for you to pull the list...
"Hehe, Master General, all the colleagues in the guard station are here, Master General is here, so why don't you say something to everyone."
Ding Guangzu, as the head of the first guard, has been carefully observing Yang Shanlu's face, but now he sees Yang Shanlu's expression seems to be okay, so he made this suggestion. Generally speaking, this is what new officials like, after all. Show your majesty...
Unexpectedly, Yang Shanlu didn't like this. In his opinion, more than half of these officials will soon be cracked. Is it necessary to talk nonsense to them
So he said faintly: "This general doesn't like it either."
"Ah!" Just when these people thought that this interview would end in a hurry, Yang Shanlu asked about something he cares about... and this is also the focus of his next administration.
Then Yang Shanlu asked: "Has the experience of the experience department come? (The highest official in charge of Tianchengwei's civil affairs)"
"Ah... here comes." The experience of the Department of Experience was only the last among the officials on the scene, but he didn't expect Yang Shanlu would ask him, so after hearing the inquiry, he came out in a hurry. .
And after Yang Shanlu took a look at him, he asked: "You are responsible for the civil affairs of Tianchengwei. Let me ask you, how many people are there in Tianchengwei?"
"Uh, Master Hui, including the Six Thousand Dun Army, there are about 100,000 people in total." This experience was a hastily replied.
"A hundred thousand people? It's quite a lot—" Yang Shanlu nodded, but then he sighed softly, "It's just that I've traveled this way, and I saw that the people of Tianchengwei had a very good life. Suffering, I'm very sad, isn't this about to be harvested in autumn? The town captive guards under my control are in need of manpower, so you will post a notice later to recruit young people to go to the town captive guards to help the autumn harvest!"
"Ah!" After listening to the experience of this experience secretary, he secretly cried out in his heart, what helped the autumn harvest? Isn't this just levying corvée! Just as you said, the common people are so suffering, and they still have to be conscripted
However, since it was Yang Shanlu's order, he did not dare to disobey, so the experience of this experience was a bitter expression: "Dare to ask the general, I don't know how many civil servants will be enlisted?"
"At least 10,000 people, the more you can, the better!" Yang Shanlu had already thought about this number.
"Ah!" After listening to the experience of this experience department, I was even more sad... Actually wanting to recruit 10,000 people? However, he experienced that there were only three or two big cats and kittens left in the division. How long and how long will it take to get this!
Not to mention that there are dozens of miles away from Zhenluwei, and hundreds of miles away! All the hardships along the way...
The book kiosk that the book friends used before has been hung up, and now they are basically using \Mic\Mic\Reading\app\\.
Seeing the embarrassment of this experience, Yang Shanlu smiled slightly: "Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, this is not unpaid labor! You have to write on the notice that every young man will participate in one day. Autumn harvest, give me a bucket of millet! In addition, there will be boats coming to pick up and drop off at the designated ferry, without them having to drive on their own."
"Ah!" After listening to the experience of the Department of Experience, I thought I had heard it wrong! Because this is really incredible, he dare to ask again: "Master General, you mean that every man who does a day's work is given a bucket of grain?"
It's no wonder that I can't believe this experience. You know that in the past, the government enlisted and issued corvee for free, and it required the civilian husband to bring his own dry food, that is to say, working for the government for nothing.
Even if you occasionally send some kindness and give some rewards, the most is to do a day's work to give one liter of wheat (one bucket is equal to ten liters), so that you will not die from starvation, but now... I heard that right
Unexpectedly, when Yang Shanlu heard this, he said very seriously: "Why, do you think that General Ben is a person who wants to absorb people's anointing? As the people in Chengwei are experiencing such a hardship today, can't you help them?"
"Ah... The general is merciful! The general is merciful!" After hearing Yang Shanlu say this, the experience division was convinced. It was previously rumored that the general loved the people like a child, and now it seems to be the case!
After all, this is also very obvious. This kind of thing can't be a joke. At that time, so many announcements have been posted, and the whole Tianchengwei knows. Can you still be a joke? It’s just that it’s incredible... Give me a bucket of wheat for a day? Is it ten times the normal situation? Such courage...
Even the Tianchengwei officials around them sounded stunned, and many people were even thinking that this general is stunned. Why is he so good to those untouchables? With this heart, why not give these benefits to them...
It’s just that even though I understand it, he still didn’t take the command of the experience, because he knew very well that even this thing couldn’t be done...
But at this time, Ding Guangzu's unkind eyes had already turned to him, and he thought that this guy is still ignorant, and he quickly agreed to it and it was over. Is it possible to continue to make a noise
But this experience is not what the experience department thinks. After all, this is the task that the Generals personally confessed, or the first task that Tianchengwei confessed. If this is not completed, then the board will hit him on the ass. !
So even if he felt Ding Guangzu’s unkind gaze, he didn’t care about continuing to cover it. He just fell to his knees with a plop, saying: "General, it stands to reason that the task you confessed is to be completed even if you are desperate. Hardship!"
"Oh, what is it?" Yang Shanlu asked with interest.
Then the experience secretary didn’t care about Ding Guangzu’s murderous eyes, and he said, “Because there are almost no men in the humble position! Normally, so many civil servants are required to be recruited, and at least the manpower experienced in the secretary is also required. It’s full, but now there are only 4 people including the humble job. Where can I get busy again?"
In Daming’s health station, the experienced department has wide-ranging powers. The files of the health station, the food and army's payment, the income and expenditure of the court documents, etc., are all under their management, so there are six rooms below, namely, officials, households, rituals, soldiers, and criminals. The total number of workers is about twelve, and now there are only one-third left, which seems to be really unsustainable.
"What is the reason for this?"
"This..." This experience department didn't want to say it, but thinking about it anyway, it's this point. He just gritted his teeth and said: "Because the humble subordinates really can't survive! My lord Mingjian, according to the court's regulations, we are one of us. The monthly salary is 7 bucks, but not even half of them are actually obtained! Just like this, I still have to often default on it. How can such remuneration retain people?"
Okay, Yang Shanlu's Qigong training is considered good, but after listening to it, he couldn't help but look at Ding Guangzu again. He said that this one is really 3 feet tall! You said that because of Zhu Chongba's blessing, these little officials' salary is already low enough, but this one is better, let him pass one more time, how can these little officials live
Ding Guangzu also felt Yang Shanlu's gaze. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "Then the court is difficult now, so there are occasional defaults. In addition, there are so many things in the guards. What I missed..."
"But now that I know it, this officer will instruct you to make up the arrears as soon as possible, including immediately making up for the staff, so that you can complete the task assigned by the General.
"Thank you, sir!" I have to thank you for this experience. In fact, his heart is like Mingjing. Does your surname Ding know about this? Did all the deducted silver be fed to the pigs? But now in front of Ding Guangzu, he didn't dare to expose it.
When Yang Shanlu saw the appearance of the two, he was even more clear in his heart, but now it is not time to clean up Ding Guangzu, so he said to Ding Guangzu: "I don't care what you do, but this matter must be done. It will be completed in two days! If not, I will just ask you!"
"The official understands!" Now Ding Guangzu's body began to tremble. He just saw Yang Shanlu smiling, and seemed to be quite talkative, but now that he is angry, he feels his majesty and majesty... It seems. This thing must be done quickly! Otherwise, if it gets slapped...
So Yang Shanlu’s first meeting after taking office ended in this way, and the effect seemed to be pretty good. With the order he gave, the entire Tianchengwei began to move...
First, the staff was quickly replenished, and the owed meters were sent down. Then these officials began to act quickly and posted announcements throughout the streets and alleys of Tianchengwei—and it was the first place that Tianchengwei pioneered. Suffer, paid conscripts! And preferential treatment!
Honestly, not many people believed in the beginning... Isn't this a lie? Will there be such a good condition? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
But there are also people who believe. After all, Tianchengwei and Zhenluwei are connected together, so the reputation of Yang Shanlu and Yang Bodhisattva has been passed on more or less... Since it was Yang Bodhisattva's words, it should be true. Right
So starting from the second day, some people rushed to the ferry crossings one after another, and after receiving the news, Yang Shanlu was also very satisfied. In fact, after the end of the day, there were Hai Jilian and others. He suggested that anyway, the evidence is solid, and the corrupt officials can be taken down!
But Yang Shanlu didn't think so. It is easy to win corrupt officials, but difficult to win people's hearts... After all, who knows if you are a dog biting a dog
However, if such a method is used to gather the hearts of the people first, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and then take action, will it be all disadvantageous
And now the autumn harvest is imminent, and with the current scale of 700,000 acres of fertile land in Zhenliwei, the number of people needed is very large, so just take this opportunity to adjust.
The people of Zhenluwei can complete the autumn harvest, and the people of Tianchengwei can get the sweetness. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? Ensure the storage of precious grains? So this is all carried out step by step after Yang Shanlu's careful consideration.
And that night, Yang Shanlu stayed in a large courtyard next to the Commander Wei, which was what Ding Guangzu and the others had no choice but to prepare.
Because Yang Shanlu doesn’t play cards according to official routines... Generally speaking, a new official like Yang Shanlu takes office and it will be over after one or two days of inspection by Tianchengwei, but this one is actually planning to live long ! This gave them a headache, and they could only prepare a place for him.
And Yang Shanlu stayed down honestly and even put up the sign of the Temporary General's Mansion! Because he knows very well that he is not here to watch the flowers, but to stir up a situation! And this is also the focus of attention from now on! So there needs to be a long-term foothold.
The arrival of Yang Shanlu had already shown his power, and someone knocked on his door that night. (End of this chapter)
